Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

JustWatch is a verified global market leader in the streaming aggregation space, with external data confirming over 40 million monthly active users and a team of ~280 employees. The platform solves a significant real-world problem (streaming fragmentation) with high utility. However, the submission itself was extremely low-effort, providing vague claims ('most people have used my product') and missing key financial data. The high score reflects the verified reality of the business rather than the quality of the submission.
